"whats best for the fish"
a very strange concept, as both recs and comms are debating the best way to kill them.
hey, whats best for the fish is no one allowed to kill them at all !!
however both sides love fishing for sb, and need to unify in order to save their enviornment/forage......us being divided is also bad for sb,
this division is shortsighted.

i feel that there are some bruised ego's in play here, if you are a are a known producer, then you just can't care about the resource...cuz you kill soooo many. being good is a curse in this front.

Lots of opinions here and after all we do live in america where you are allowed to have and voice an opinion.
I will not voice my opinions here but leave some food for thought.

1 What can we as fishermen do to ensure the health of our stock? (ie. just because you can take two doesn't mean you have to) Think about it, (there are lots of answers) do it, and encourage others to do the same.

2 Is letting more government control another aspect of our lives the right answer? (remember we do already have an agency that regulates the fisheries)

If you want real change get educated on how to get those changes made. Most people are logical and a logical argument can go a long way in unifying people with a common cause. Extremism never works.

I have personally decided to stick with my fishing club, MSBA, become more educated in the way the regulations work,learn the proper ways to go about changing them, and become more active in the process.

I invite you all to join a club where you can voice your opinion,stand side by side with fellow fishermen, and become involved .

Perhaps you will achieve more finding the middle of the road and getting something you can live with ,even if it isn't exactly what you want.
